A Blissful Escape: Our Harehouse Hideaway Retreat at Karmavida, Spain
Tucked away in the golden hills of Spain, surrounded by the scent of citrus trees and the soft whisper of the breeze, our recent Harehouse Hideaway retreat at Karmavida was nothing short of magical. It was more than just a getaway — it was a full-body reset, a soul-deep refresh, and a celebration of community, movement, and nourishment.
The Villa: Karmavida, A Sanctuary for the Soul
From the moment you arrive at Karmavida, something shifts. Maybe it’s the warm sun casting golden light over the villa walls or the breathtaking views stretching across the Costa Blanca coast. This place holds a special kind of peace — the kind that wraps around you gently and invites you to exhale fully for the first time in months.
Karmavida is more than a villa — it’s a sanctuary. With its spacious, beautifully styled rooms, serene yoga shala, and dreamy pool overlooking the hills, every corner was designed with intention. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, and your nervous system whispers, “Thank you.”
The People: Connection Without the Noise
What truly makes a retreat unforgettable? The people. Our group arrived, some solo and some as strangers - left as friends! There was laughter, vulnerability, shared stories, and moments of quiet connection. No egos, no pressure — just a collective intention to heal, move, and grow. Watching bonds form over early morning Yogilicious Shots and late-night herbal teas was as beautiful as any sunset.
The Yoga: Movement with Meaning
Every day began and ended on the mat. Morning sessions with Pam @the_yoga hideaway, filled our bodies with energy and intention, while evening Yin, nidra and restorative flows allowed us to melt into deep rest. Surrounded by nature, with birdsong as our playlist and sunrises as our backdrop, yoga at Karmavida felt felt more sacred — more alive.
Whether you were a beginner or an experienced yogi, each practice was accessible, soulful, and deeply grounding. Our Yogi’s moved, breathed, and let go. They did it together.
The Food: Nourishment from the Inside Out
Let’s talk about the food! Each meal was a vibrant, nourishing masterpiece. Plant-based dishes bursting with color and flavor, lovingly prepared to fuel our bodies and soothe our souls. From fresh Yogilicious juices and our signature Yogilicious Warrior Shots to hearty Acai bowls, healthy 3 course plant based evening meals !! Every bite was designed to heal. And let’s not forget our special Namaste bites, popped in the pool fridges each day for the yogi’s to nibble on - we’ll gobble really as they didn’t last two minutes!
The retreat menu focused on whole foods, seasonal ingredients, and gut-loving recipes that left everyone feeling light, energized, and satisfied. It wasn’t just eating — it was an experience.
Reflections from the Heart
By the end of our stay, we all felt it — the shift. That lightness. That glow. We have returned home more connected to ourselves, more open to life, and more committed to taking our well-being seriously.
This Harehouse Hideaway retreat at Karmavida was more than a pause — it was a powerful reminder that when you give yourself space to breathe, move, and be held in a supportive community, magic happens.
Here’s to more retreats, more movement, more juice-fuelled joy — and more soul-deep self-care.
Until next time,
Maureen & Pam
